Brocante shopping in Loire valley

Hello friends

I am still in Loire valley.
Looking for a house to buy.
I 've been driving everywhere where there is a road .

Found some goodies .

Day 1 in Paris

I arrived in Paris in the pouring heavy rain. struggling to adjust the jet leg.

I think I am 60 % adjusted to Paris time.

The next day I left to Musee du Louvre. 

It was fine when I left the Apartment.( I am renting an apartment for a week not far from Arc  du triomphe) but it stared rain again so I had to buy an umbrella. I wanted to experience real parisien life. So far so good. I think I can live in Paris, but still prefer to live in Country side of France.

It is easy to take a Metro wherever you go. You can buy 10 tickets at once for discounted price.  My Metro destination was Opera from here I walked forward Louvre, stopped at Pierre Herme which is famous for marcaron, 

The weather was fine most of the day, so I walked and walked.

The map is how far I walked in a day. about 9 km.. I don't like to walk but

Paris is definitely walking city, walking is the only way to view everywhere in Paris.
if you are planning to come to Paris, make sure to bring your most comfortable shoes.

This is the neighborhood of where I am staying. 

The famous Opera .

It was cold and raining but I didn't mind it.

This is the shop front of Pierrer Herme

Tea shop in front of the Louvre.

Flower shop is wherever in Paris.

I couldn't make it to Eiffel tower because it started pouring down again after this photo.

on the way to the apartment.

My new years resolution is to take good care of my blog. update it regularly.

To start the new year, I am sharing my recent France Trip.

I fell in love with France, especially the country side.

I am going back in a few months time. Lucky me..

Here are some of my flea market trip in Paris.

Amazing Chandeliers.

Can you see the gilt mirror at the back? 

 I used my Iphone to take photos,, very blurry.. but still beautiful.

Amazing French Armoire,  Arm chair and upholstered bed.. oh.. Heaven.

Great architectural piece.. probably from old chateau 

These white french furniture are so gorgeous.. 

I so wanted to buy this blue mannequin, still make me sad that I left her in Paris.

I am so trying to upholster one of my chair with pink fabric. 

Have a great day or night wherever you are.

It's been two months and a bit since I returned from my French Trip.

Finally, I am starting to post my travel to France. It was wonderful trip and  can't wait to return next Spring.

We left Melbourne to Paris via Seoul where My little princess and I stopped over for a few days to catch up with family and friends. My DH left Melbourne to Paris via Singapore. 

We met up at the hotel where we stayed for 3 nights in Paris.

This is the view from our plane, just about the land

Finally we are in France after 11 hours of flying from Seoul.

 

We have arranged the pick up service to our hotel in Paris.

It was so so so congested, but we were glad because we were in Paris. 

My first photo of Paris building. 

 

We arrived at hotel late but I had a very special meeting waiting for me,

I met up with Delana  from http://delana-dujour.blogspot.com.au/

Anyway, check out her blog, and her new website for provincial goodies.

This was where we stayed for 3 nights in Paris.

It is located at Paris- Republique, conveniently located. Not too expensive..

Clean and roomy.
